Product Details

This is a Gates OE Type Thermostat, set to open at 195 degrees Fahrenheit. It's designed to regulate your engine's temperature by controlling the flow of coolant. When your engine gets hot, the thermostat opens up, allowing coolant to circulate through the radiator and cool down. Once the engine cools, it closes again to help it reach and maintain its ideal operating temperature for efficiency and longevity. This part fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Ford Expedition, Explorer, and F-150 models, as well as Lincoln Navigator and Chevrolet Chevette.

Gates thermostats are built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, meaning they should perform just like the part that came from the factory. This particular thermostat opens at 195 degrees, which is a common temperature for many gasoline engines to operate most efficiently. Using the correct temperature thermostat is important; too cool and your engine might not run efficiently or heat up properly, too hot and you risk overheating. This thermostat is a well-built replacement that will help keep your engine running smoothly.
